Doren, a Tesla 3 has a battery capacity of 60-82 kWh.

How many kW is a typical DIY solar installation? Maybe 7 kW? 10 kW if we go nuts?

That means the DIY solar system will have to run at full capacity for at least 6 hours just to charge one EV.

Remember, that energy also comes during the day when the EV is being used, so now we have to install 8 Tesla Powerwalls to capture all of that energy so that we can charge the EV at night.

And that's just for one EV. What if I have two? Should I forgo that 2nd EV and just become a one car household?

The math doesn't work out. Off-grid DIY solar is nothing more than a meme.
